People should mind their own business. They would not stomach others judging their own marriages or liaisons, so what makes them think they have the right to judge that of the Prince of Wales? I am happy for him and Camilla. Every commoner has the right to find happiness, so why not a royal? Evelyn Petros Gumpel, Vienna, Austria

Married ir not isn't important. What really matters is that she does NOT become queen. Susan Wadhwani, Sacramento

The Church of England was founded by a serial divorcer. So what's the Church's beef with a divorced monarch today? If they were too stuffy to marry the Prince and the woman he loved, the least they could do would be to step aside and allow it to happen somewhere else. Marriage is better than the alternative. I wish great happiness to the Prince of Wales and his wife. A pox on their detractors. David Allen, Marietta

That such a debate is currently ongoing about whether The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay's (as they prefer to be called in my beloved Scotland) marriage is "legal" at all goes a long way towards showing how hypocritical segments of our society still. That includes the Church of England which has qualms about marrying divorced individuals. It also includes those members of the public and the media who even think of suggesting that His Royal Highness's remarriage could be what would trigger a constitutional crisis and see the throne slip through his fingers. Tradition is all very nice, but the world moves on. Andrew Cook-Jolicoeur, Montreal

The most important point here, is that Charles as king is the head of the Church of England, which refused to recognise the marriage. This makes the whole thing untenable. This is not a private matter at all, but the future of the monarchy and its structure and beliefs hinge on this. They cannot be seen to be above the law. Common law wife as Queen? Don't be silly. Jane Guthrie Tate, Glasgow

Somebody should remind the Prince of Wales that he would not be the heir to the throne if his great uncle had behaved in the same fashion as the Prince has chosen to. At least Mrs Simpson, though a divorcee, did not contribute to the break-up of a Royal marriage. Margaret Higgins, New York

This could be why the Queen refused to attend the ceremony. Perhaps she knows full well the marriage is not legal. Those involved should be sacked. Jan Gosling, Cleveland, Ohio

A King Charles with a Queen Camilla will destroy the Royal Family. Hopefully the Queen will catch on and make William her heir. Christine Casey, Derry

Oh Lord! Let this poor, gentle man alone already! To be joined with someone that he truly loves is a true blessing. I can't help but wonder if all the naysayers that never let this rest are not in fact envious. Leave them alone! Melissa Smith, Brookhaven, New York

By so blatantly ignoring God's commands, Charles has made himself unfit for the throne. How can the church condone this, when a king is supposed to be the father of the Church and set an example to his people? I hope the crown goes directly to William, who certainly is fit to be king. Rita Shinn, Ingleside, Texas

Who cares? They will do what they wish irrespective of the views or wishes of the people. John Hindley, London

Of course the marriage is legal, as legal as every other marriage of divorced persons under English law. Let's just remember that HRH was a widower at the time of this marriage, not a divorcee. It was the marriage - of convenience - of Charles and Diana that was a travesty, which a vigilant church should never have sanctioned. Charles is basically a good man and the raw material of faithful spouses, like his mother and his grandfather - a rare commodity. He was pressurised into marrying Diana for the sake of the succession. Camilla was his first choice and he has returned to her - good for him. Brenda Cook, Old Portsmouth

The laws governing the Monarchy must be followed for the institution to survive. We can't continue to change the laws to accommodate Charles; this will not do and will result in the ultimate demise of the institution the Queen and his other ancestors have fought so hard to maintain. If Charles were a man of principal, duty and honour, he would have stepped aside years ago and married 'the woman he loved'. He did not because being king mattered more. Marriage to Camilla did not wash then and it should not wash now; Mountbatten advised him accordingly. Go into exile and be happy; but as king - never! Caroline Coombs, London
